should be able to specify multiple users or groups for the submitter of an input step

XMLWordPrintable

      It is quite often that the team writing workflows does not have access to create groups in the external authenitcation realm (e.g. ActiveDirectory).

      The input step allows you to restrict who can approve (submit) the input - but this is limited to a single user or group.

      It would be beneficial if this could be expanded to a list that could contain multiple users or groups (i.e a mix).

          re-opening as there are distinct use cases.

          If you had a Permission check then you can not have some users approve a specific "input" step yet another set of users approve a different step.

          example - say you want to seek approval from the QC team before deployment to the manual at server, and approval from OPs before deployment to live - these should be two distinct sets of users. If using Permissions I do not see how you would accomplish this.

          +1 to this request. It's common practice where certain steps of workflow would be requiring set of users or groups to be able to approve. Overall permission would not solve it (well, even for Abort action most of times it would be good to follow same access control as for "ok" action), it must be flexible argument handling on input step.

          Pipeline and Jenkins will not be ready for any enterprise without this. This is a poor decision because: what if your "one deployer" goes on vacation in a team of 20 developers? Is the whole pipeline held hostage? This needs to be highly prioritized.

          Needs to support Jenkins groups. It needs to support optionally selecting multiple Jenkins groups/users in the same field.
